We may be getting an Assassin’s Creed this year, but it looks like we won’t be getting our hands on The Division this holiday season.
A new quarterly earnings report from Ubisoft has confirmed that the open-world, third-person shooter has been pushed back, this time to Q4 of Ubisoft’s 2016 fiscal year which ends in March 2016. Rainbow Six: Siege, meanwhile, will be releasing in Q3 of its 2016 fiscal year, i.e. this fall.
Described as “key drivers” alongside Assassin’s Creed Syndicate for Ubisoft in the coming year by the report, they’re curiously include with another “AAA” game this season.
“It is never an easy decision to move a launch date,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said, stating that this is a move “that has always benefited the company.” Guillemot added that Ubisoft plans to announce their mystery AAA game later this fall without further comment.
In addition, Guillemot claimed that Ubisoft plans on moving forward with current-gen only games with series like Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six, excluding Just Dance.
